Alfredo del Mazo officially wants to be governor in Mexico State

I've long regarded Alfredo del Mazo as the most likely anointed candidate to succeed Enrique Peña Nieto as governor of Mexico State, not the least because he is virtually Peña Nieto's Doppelgänger.

Now, from del Mazo's mouth:

"Today I am telling all residents of Mexico State that I do want to be governor. I have a conviction of vocation of service; I have lived it at my own home: both my father and my grandfather worked for the state and helped it grow."

I would be expecting the proclamation of del Mazo's "unity candidacy" any time now.
